Description

Phil
Proctor, co-founder with Peter Bergman of the Grammy-nominated Firesign
Theatre, in cahoots with Phil Austin and David Ossman, reveal the gladness
behind the madness of their 50-year making of their radio series, records,
television shows, and films.

Return
with Proctor and Bergman through their memories of the surreal silliness that
resulted in the creation of their famous comedy albums, TV or Not TV, Give Us a Break, and What This Country Needs, and the
films, J-Men Forever (1979)
and Americathon (1979).

Americathon, an American
comedy film starring John Ritter, Fred Willard, Peter Riegert, Harvey Korman,
and Nancy Morgan, with narration by George Carlin, forecast the funny side of
life in the U.S. in 1998, and a desperate attempt by the President to stave off
national foreclosure by the United Hebrab Republic (formed by the merger of
Israel and the Arab states).

Includes
the original script of Gothamathon,
the skit on which Americathon was
based. Illustrated. 92 pages.
